In RELENG_7 and HEAD we have the OpenBSD 4.1 derived ftp-proxy (which is a= =20 completely different tool). IIRC, the pftpx project started off of OpenBSD's ftp-proxy which later=20 merged in the changes from the pftpx project and added further=20 improvements. Bottom line: The ftp-proxy in HEAD and RELENG_7 is believed to work, if it= =20 doesn't please submit details to freebsd-pf@ This version of ftp-proxy=20 can be obtained from the ports collection for RELENG_6, too=20 (ftp/ftp-proxy) and is believed to supercede pftpx. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart2144223.h2Xy4a60yB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHYvgBXyyEoT62BG0RAhmWAJoDp3rVn3edDlTDWmjmixKAo+WJCQCeJxIO boqRL3LxW3/6F6m/iI2W5qA= =NJLq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2144223.h2Xy4a60yB--
